There were two songs from singer Barbara Lewis, that happens to be my all-time favorites. They also were the two biggest songs of her career. The first song is called “Hello Stranger,” released in 1963. On July of ’63, “Hello Stranger hit number 3 on the music charts, and stayed there for 14 weeks. I wasn’t even born yet, but this song was still extremely popular, up to about when I was 6-8 years old maybe? So this classic had a good 12 year shelf life on the radio. Very nice song for easy dancing with your partner. Another very popular song I love from this same album is called “Baby I’m Yours.” This is another perfect example of a romantic female song. Great song for the moment you realize you’re ready to settle down with that one guy. It was released in 1965, and peaked number 11 on the charts. The song stayed on the charts for 14 weeks as well.
